Expert Site Stabilization, Compliance and Protection
Protect Your Property with Professional Erosion Control.
Heavy rains, steep slopes, and disturbed ground can quickly turn into washouts, stormwater problems, or failed inspections if erosion isn’t addressed. This is especially true in Maryland, where clay-heavy soils and frequent storms make properties more vulnerable to runoff and sediment issues. We design and install site-specific solutions that prevent damage, protect storm drains, and keep your site in compliance. Whether you need DOT-approved silt fence, slope stabilization, or sediment basins, our crew builds with precision so the work you’ve invested in doesn’t get ruined by the next storm.
Common Situations Where Erosion Control is Needed:
New construction sites requiring code-approved runoff control
Slopes prone to washouts or bare ground after excavation
Areas around storm drains that need protection from sediment
Large yards or commercial sites losing topsoil after heavy rains
If your site needs to be stabilized or you need help fixing a washed out property, give us a call. To get started, contact us for a free estimate or keep scrolling to learn more about the erosion services we provide.

Silt Fencing & Sediment Barriers for Code Compliance
DOT-approved silt fence (including super silt fence) is one of the most common and effective tools for preventing sediment from leaving a site. DOT (Department of Transportation) approval means the silt fence materials and installation methods meet state and federal standards for erosion control.
These fences are designed to keep sediment from washing into storm drains, streams, or neighboring properties during construction. Using DOT-approved fencing ensures your site stays compliant with Maryland stormwater regulations and passes inspection.
-
In most cases, yes. Maryland requires silt fencing on active construction sites or anywhere soil disturbance could lead to runoff. Inspectors often won’t allow work to move forward until proper fencing is in place, which makes professional installation critical.
Rip Rap & Slope Stabilization to Prevent Erosion and Washouts
Rip rap uses heavy stone placed on slopes, ditches, or shorelines to slow water flow and protect against erosion. It’s a durable solution for areas exposed to heavy runoff or where soil won’t stay in place on its own. Slope stabilization goes a step further by reshaping or reinforcing the slope itself, often using geotextiles, matting, or engineered fills to keep the soil anchored.
Together, these methods protect vulnerable areas, prevent washouts, and keep sites safe and code-compliant.
-
Rip rap provides long-term protection in high-flow areas where lighter measures like straw matting won’t hold. It also requires little maintenance once installed.
Straw Matting, Curlex & Hydroseeding for Vegetation Growth
On bare or newly graded slopes, straw matting and Curlex erosion blankets hold soil in place while grass or groundcover grows. Hydroseeding is often added to establish vegetation quickly, creating a natural layer of erosion protection.
These solutions provide cost-effective slope stabilization that blends seamlessly into the landscape. We always install these systems to spec, following Maryland erosion control standards to ensure your site passes inspection.
-
Vegetation typically begins sprouting within a couple of weeks, with full coverage depending on season and weather. During that time, the matting holds soil in place and prevents washouts.
